R1
Agricultural-Residential District
It is the purpose of this district to provide for limited density of residential development in certain open areas of the Township, for the purpose of enabling the retention of significant agricultural land uses while preserving natural features and scenic landscapes In this district, which contains much of the Township's most agriculturally productive soils, the intent is to minimize land uses that are incompatible with agriculture and to manage their potential impacts on the district's agricultural and open lands. The R-1 District provisions are intended to support the existing agricultural economy by limiting residential density and encouraging appropriate site design. Residents of the R-1 District must be willing to accept the impacts associated with daily farming practices and related businesses.
